Alternately, I could not show up at the conference at all, which would save me the bother of leaving.
Why are you pushing this so hard?

I think it's interesting and it allows others to be listened to instead of being talked over. That's why you should come.

I can discuss religion here without being talked over. That’s why I’m not coming (part of the reason, anyroad).

And what would be the split, 2 agnostics, 1 atheist, ..... the remainder christians? If you actually knew more agnostic/atheists you wouldn't be here.
Almost by definition agnostics and atheists are skeptics.

OP. Welcome.
Think of a topic to discuss. Any topic.
God, evolution, morality, the universe...
It's been done to death here a million times over.
It's the same old same old. This is why most here can't/won't be bothered.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

No thanks.
Not that it wouldn't potentially be interesting, but because I'm not really an athetit.
I am really Jesus, returned from Heaven to bring about the final Judgement.
But when I got here and looked around, I said to the anti-Christ, "You know, Neville, my followers appear to be idiots and yours seem to be no better."
Nev said, "Yeah. Can you believe they wanted to sacrifice a virgin to me?.
This shocked ne because we couldn't find a virgin for me to be born from. There were some virgins but they were underage and you don't touch underage children. I'm looking at YOU, Mohammed!
Anyway Nev and I decided that our followers were morons, not worthy of us and that the atheists had it right.
Dying to live, living to die.
